• W2068483477 abstract "Gliding flight has independently evolved many times in vertebrates. Direct evidence of gliding is rare in fossil records and is unknown in mammals from the Mesozoic era. Here we report a new Mesozoic mammal from Inner Mongolia, China, that represents a previously unknown group characterized by a highly specialized insectivorous dentition and a sizable patagium (flying membrane) for gliding flight. The patagium is covered with dense hair and supported by an elongated tail and limbs; the latter also bear many features adapted for arboreal life. This discovery extends the earliest record of gliding flight for mammals to at least 70 million years earlier in geological history, and demonstrates that early mammals were diverse in their locomotor strategies and lifestyles; they had experimented with an aerial habit at about the same time as, if not earlier than, when birds endeavoured to exploit the sky. A report of a gliding mammal from the Late Jurassic or Early Cretaceous of China represents the earliest known attempt of a mammal to take to the air, long before bats and at about the same time as birds. The squirrel-sized animal is unusual in many ways and is believed to represent a hitherto unknown mammalian order. Living some 130 million years ago, it had a set of sharp teeth suitable for eating insects and a fold of body skin membrane (the patagium) used for gliding flight. The skin membrane, preserved in the fossil as an impression, was covered with dense hair and supported by elongated limb bones and tail. This discovery shows that mammals were living highly diverse lives during this relatively early stage of their evolution. The artistic reconstruction on the cover shows Volaticotherium antiquus ('ancient gliding beast') in a late afternoon forest. Cover illustration by Chuang Zhao and Lida Xing." @default.
